::NauticDive:: - YOUR WAY OUR WAY
::NauticDive:: - THE ENTRY LEVEL
"Hailing from Sheffield, NauticDive are Max Hall, Eddy Hill and Charlie Lynn combining mashed up beats, synths, guitar trickery and vocals to create a live fusion of break beat, dub and trippyness. If its dark, dirty and spikey, its NauticDive."
Nice review for ::NauticDive:: in Sandman magazine.
::NauticDive::
Dirty, ambient dance beats, sparse production and hypnotic, poetic lyrics – is this Underworld under a different moniker? Far from it – ::NauticDive:: are Max Hall, Eddy Hill and Charlie Lynn – the three minds behind one of the most original sounds to come out of Sheffield since Phil Oakey embarrassingly discovered he only had enough spare change in his pocket for half a haircut. But out of such situations can arise unexpected genius; a rough-round-the-edges, almost-there nod to greatness, and embryo of something ground-breaking. And whilst within 'Deep Blue Eyes' and 'It Ain't Easy' is the distant echo of yesterday's drum and bass and electronica sounds, in them also lies more than a hint of something that could easily transcend their local constraints. But for now, they serve to provide a pulsating soundtrack to Sheffield nightlife. It's only a matter of time before they drop a 'Born Slippy'.
